Auto-move

Post by Larkit »

This is a thing I've been pondering about for a little while now. In most MMO's, you can press Num-Lock (or basically whatever key you've bound it to) and your character will continue moving forwards - AKA auto-move/walk/run. It's a rather handy feature, first and foremost because you got your left hand free, but also especially when you're talking. Eg. when you're moving from one place to another, but also in escape situations, where you need to talk and run away at the same time.

Well, I don't think more explanation is needed.

It would definatly be nice to talk without stopping :roll: Doubt it's possible but that'd be great.

Actually, I think auto-move is possible... in any case, I agree, it would be neat.

here's how you do it:
/bind *key* +forward
/bind *key* -forward
press the first key to start moving. press the second to stop.

That would work, unless you chat; which is what Larkit was hinting toward. Being able to chat while moving is the suggestion he makes here. While it is something I'd appreciate, it was discussed before and put aside due to technical difficulties.

Neat, but not possible for the now.

Ok, this feature is now integrated in the next RPMod version (probably 0.4.0, but not coming out before some time). Here is how it works:
  • /bind key rpautomove
  • Press that key to begin running, or keep your Walk button down while pressing the rpautomove key to begin walking (this behavior is of course reverted if you configured cl_run 0).
  • You can then walk/run and talk at the same time. While doing so, however, you won't get invulnerability as you normally would, because of possible abuse.
  • To stop auto-moving, either press your bound key, or an "action" key (attack, alt attack, any force power, jump/crouch, and backwards). Of course these keys can't work when you are talking, since they display characters instead. If you want to stop auto-moving while you are typing a message, use /rpautomove in the console.
